Overview

Functions are blocks of code used to organize programs into smaller parts. A function runs only when it is called, can accept data through parameters, and can return a result. This makes programs easier to read, reuse, and debug. Python provides built-in functions such as int(), float(), input(), ev

Key Concepts

A function is a block

eval() evaluates the value of

eval() evaluates the value of a string as a number and returns the numeric result.
